Are you familiar with the world of fairy tales?
When it comes to Little Red Riding Hood and Co., no one can fool you?
Then test your knowledge in our fairy tale quiz.
For centuries, fairy tales were only passed down orally.
According to BR.de,
the first printed collection of fairy tales was published in Italy in 1550
- and was aimed at adults.
In Germany, the Brothers Grimm helped fairy tales achieve a breakthrough: in 1812 they published the first volume of their “Children’s and Household Tales”.
Since then, the fabulous stories have become an integral part of every child's room.
